A dark, compact serif design with pronounced flared endings and sharp, triangular spur-like serifs. Strokes stay fairly even while joints and terminals carve into pointed notches, creating an ink-trap-like bite at many corners. The overall rhythm is vertical and tightly set, with sturdy capitals and compact lowercase that keep counters relatively small and forms crisp. Numerals and punctuation follow the same chiseled, faceted treatment, maintaining a consistent, emphatic texture across lines.
Best suited to display applications where its carved terminals and dark texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, title treatments, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial bursts such as pull quotes or section openers, but will feel intense for long-form reading.
The tone reads medieval and ceremonial, with a slightly aggressive edge from the spiked serifs and cut-in joins. It evokes heraldry, old-world signage, and dramatic editorial styling rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, authoritative serif voice with a chiseled, flared finish—balancing traditional letterform structure with decorative, pointed detailing for strong presence.
The face creates strong word shapes through abrupt terminal geometry and distinctive corner cuts, which can make it feel both ornamental and assertive. In continuous text it produces a dense, high-impact color, with sharp details that become a defining feature at display sizes.
